Eventide Eclipse

Easy with the presets-manual required for deeper edits.
Softkeys allow access to parameter changes-again, easy if you RTFM. You can store your own changes to compact flash.
Manual is basic and even has a sense of humor. I like that!
My firmware is 3.1 and easily updatable via the compact flash.

Running synths and samples through it and a BBE sonic maximizer then into an MPC 2000xl and Roland MV8800. It is noisy only if you use unbalanced cables, but the manual tells you that!
SOUND:
Nothing else, sounds like this unit. All I can say about the sound is 'heavenly'. It has a sound, all its own. It adds that special J'ai ne ce'st quoi to your tracks. Its character is not as pristinely 'airy' as a high end Lex but not by any means, muddy or grainy like overpriced plug ins. Its modulated, undulating, shimmering reverb trails that sync to midi clock or tap tempo, are out of this world. What is also nice is you can feed one effect into another or run them tandem parallell and there are plenty of good presets to start from. This unit really shines in the stereo field and I could spend hours upon hours just tweaking it till the end of never. If you are looking for instant 'pedal' gratitification, it will not be your cup of tea. If you are looking to tailor your own sound and make it your own and don't mind reading the manual and getting to know your gear, this unit will not dissapoint you.
I discovered its sound by accident in hearing a recording and hounded the artist until he told me what the unit was. This thing, when used right, is a 'secret' weapon among we ambient, downtempo and electronica sound designers. If you love loooooongggg reverbs that crescendo into bliss, listen to this piano, here:

It powers up quickly and efficiently. No 'hang' time. Nice. Can't say that about my computer, though.
I never take it from my studio, so I wouldn't know about its stage durability, but then again, the manual states "just like that game 'Operation' you played when you were kids, 'don't touch the sides'...oh you don't remember that?, oh well...."
Ha, I love it. I had that game as a kid, where it buzzed loudly if your wired tweezers touched the edge and grounded as you tried to pick bones out recessed openings.
This is a studio piece but It does say it has foot pedal inputs so I don't see why you couldn't use it on stage if you properly protected it in a rack space. Common sense rules, here. It is a high dollar effects unit.

I haven't had to deal with them but I imagine with anyone you talk to, you are nice and humble and they will be back, too.
At least they say in the manual, to give them a call if you have a problem and that means they do want to help you.

I won't diatribe. this unit is in a class of its own. It either floats your boat, or it doesn't. It does mine cause nothing else, sounds like it. It is its owl flavor and the sound it does have, is 'high end' in every regard. It is a
'classy' sound, if you can call it that. Unique in every way. No plug I have can touch it and I have both the UAD verbs which were a waste, along with Sonicworx timworx plugs, a Lex PCM 96, Lex MX200 and the Behringer REV 24/96. The closest you might come is something like Altiverb Convolution reverb with Eventide impulses but if you track too much with it, too many instances will crash your puter.
I gave up my Eventide H3000 D/SX to the guy that I was hounding originally, only to almost buy the H8000FW, but just couldn't foot the bill for the 'big daddy' of all effects processors. Still, chain your effects together in Abletone Live and send it into this thing and whoa! This is some serious sonice manipulation, my friends.

Easy.
Easy is relative, though depending on where you come from. I have been into synths, computers and sampling since the mid to early 80's and had a lot of reverb units in my day, so in comparison to pedals, it is downright difficult. In comparison to Programming a Fairlight CMI or New England digital Synclavier, it's a breeze.
Just read the manual and it comes pretty easy. hey, it has presets that you can adjust on your own then store. I don't see how that can be a difficult thing for anyone, but then again, I am not everyone and have not walked in their shoes so cannot be the voice of opinion on what is actually difficult to use, or easy. That kind of thing is relative to user experience, so try before you buy.

It has it's own special flavor that I love, but I love Eventide, anyway. Again, this is subjective and you have to listen to the unit with the kind of stuff you do to determine if it fits your style. I do electronica and ambient music, and it just floats my boat. Nothing to me, has as lush a deep and sweet a canyon/hall/cathedral/ verb as a 'tide. it is not as pristine and clean as say my Lexi PCM 96 nor as dark and ominous and just plain weird as my H3000 D/SX, but really, it is in a league of its own and 1500 cheaper than a Bricasti, and much more affordable than a large studio unit that I wouldn't know what to do with, anyway. It can be hard though, to determine if it is for you, because many of us are not near a local music store that has one on demo, so check out youtube and see if you can find some demos posted that people have put up. I am sure they are there.

Haven't had a problem, yet with it

They are pretty good people, get back with you pretty much right away. they don't 'talk down' to you at all.
They are from Jersey, though so the dude answering the phone is gonna sound
lahk a nue Yohka cause da peeulz in joisy sownd woise dan das peepulz in da ceety...heh heh

It doesn't sound like my H3000 D/SX but then again, I didn't expect it to since I asked around prior to purchase. It still, does not sound like a Yamaha Rev 7, or a PCM 96, or a Bricasti M7 and certainly not as bad as most linear plugin reverbs out there, to which I really have a distaste for (IE. I really don't like my UAD reverbs, sorry UAD, no hit on you, but reverbs are not your forte-stick to signal processing emulations of your own kit with your quad pci-e cards)

To the bone picker:

I feel it necessary to respond, so as to allow potential buyers of this unit a response to consider.

"1. no, it's not really simple to use. did you expect that it would be? then again, it's not rocket science. this is my second eventide harmonizer product and both have a bit of a learning curve, but once you get your head wrapped around it, it gets relatively easy."

>> I've used rack gear since '85, used pretty much everything that has come out since that time, so I think I can give a good viewpoint on what is easy or a pain in the butt. The ideal unit requires no learning curve, the designer considers the user and creates an interface that can get you going right away, not force you to transform yourself from a musician to a rocket scientist. This is the sole reason of the movement FROM this sort of thing back to old school easy pedals and such. I used the G-Force as an example of high power with quick action to achieve a result, this is what all companies should strive for.

"2. what drop-outs? if you read the manual, you should know that there is a crossfade feature to will "smear" the previously loaded program with the next one. you can select how long this crossover takes. not available for every program, but enough to render this unit entirely useful for live performances."

>> A ridiculous response, let's explore: 1. a 'drop out' is not just the 'leaving' of a preset, it is also the 'going to'. you can "smear" a preset you are leaving, but this will not help you if the preset you are going to has to start right away! If your preset is too complex from the one you are leaving, the unit has to spend time and use memory to get it up and running, causing a delay, and, unless eventide has developed a "smear" that jumps through time and space into the future, this will not help you. 2. Simply go to the Eventide website and you will actually see the latest software download that tries to help this problem.

"3. eventide support has always been pretty darn good. i have seen better, but i've also seen far worse. they're not going to hold your hand or program it for you, but if you've got a legitimate (read: not "i'm too lazy to read the manual") concern, they'll probably be able to help you out."

>> So your kneejerk response is I don't know what I am doing? This item is like many others: Most suited for studio use, not live. For live? You have to sacrifice some use. It amazes me how you assume so much, where was the idea that the manual was the issue? This is quite silly, and tech support is not needed for these observations.

"in summary, i will surmise that this gentleman simply didn't take the requisite time to figure out how to extract the power inside the eclipse..."

IN SUMMARY: This bone picker assumes too much. I have had other Eventide products, this is not the first, and I see little has changed. For the guitarist, if you need a great studio processor and want instant usable sounds for studio or live, check this out ~before~ you buy. You will find 90% of the presets are unusable. Unless you want to sound like an arcade game. You will have to 'steal' parts and pieces from other presets to build your own. Almost all of them. If you have no problem with that, than you are half way there. If you are considering this for live? If you stick with basic effect setups where your presets are close and similar (i.e. going from say chorus delay to flange delay) you will not see much issues with drops, but if it is a drastic change? Drop out city. This isn't exactly a Eventide exclusive problem, but for this kinda cash? Should be better.

To Eventide: Come up with a better user interface. You've been in this business for how long? It's time to consider your customers who are not in studio production or your peers in rocket science.

i've got a bone to pick with the guy below who blasted the eclipse. let me attempt to address these "issues" so as to assuage anyone who is deterred by his review:

1. no, it's not really simple to use. did you expect that it would be? then again, it's not rocket science. this is my second eventide harmonizer product and both have a bit of a learning curve, but once you get your head wrapped around it, it gets relatively easy.

2. what drop-outs? if you read the manual, you should know that there is a crossfade feature to will "smear" the previously loaded program with the next one. you can select how long this crossover takes. not available for every program, but enough to render this unit entirely useful for live performances.

3. eventide support has always been pretty darn good. i have seen better, but i've also seen far worse. they're not going to hold your hand or program it for you, but if you've got a legitimate (read: not "i'm too lazy to read the manual") concern, they'll probably be able to help you out.

in summary, i will surmise that this gentleman simply didn't take the requisite time to figure out how to extract the power inside the eclipse...you've gotta read the manual, set your levels, blah blah blah. as a result, he's had a bad experience with the unit. understandable but unfair. you get out of it what you put into it to a certain extent. i'll admit to being an eventide devotee but if it weren't worth the money, i'd admit that as well. yes, a bigger screen would be nice. but the eclipse taking up a mere one space is an even trade. a pc/mac editor would be a real treat, but it's not essential. learn to work with it and you'll get quick. since we're making demands, i'd like the eclipse to scratch my back and make me a sandwich, but in the meantime i'll settle for a top-notch audio processor from a top-notch company.

To answer the last post, the 'sound' of the unit is top notch, but after having this unit for a while, I found myself using my other top notch unit more, the TC ELECTRONIC G FORCE. To excuse a units programmability just because it sounds good is, well, inexcusable. A musician plays, a studio guy tweeks. I'd rather (and I'm sure most others) spend more time playing than tweeking, let the studio guys look endlessly for that special mix.

The Eventide Eclipise, like Lexicon products, is a hard animal to get around, and does involve a lot of time to 'dial it all in'. Many many windows and odd ways to get what you need to where you need to then edit properly to your liking gets tiresome after a while, especially when you don't really know what you want and are just trying things out. It is better to have sounds you can just drop in and go than having to go through multiple windows to try to put something together. If you are a musician from the late 80's as I, you remember why guitarist suddenly dropped the rack gear and went back to the old school, it's because things got too complicated and involved with these things, and too much other nonsense (as the other guy stated) sounds that really have no use at all, unless you are making noises for video games.

What musicians really want: Many pre-programmed presents that are ready to go in the REAL world of playing. It could be 10 chorus patches all the same but subtle differences, who cares? That is something you can use, not 10 patches of pitch shifting with a jet flange so extreme you'd think you were tracking for an airlines commercial or a ping pong whacko delay from hell...why? Nice to know the unit could do that, but what is the need?

I used the G FORCE as a comparison because it is also top notch in effects but also has a very simple user interface that makes sense and is quick to navigate with smart layouts you can run to quickly. No 'stealing' things from other algorythems, the effects are right there on the front panel, add as you need, then go.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a beat up post for Eventide, I love the sounds, but like I said earlier, I usually go to the other solely because of the ease of use.

Assume the user knows nothing. What are absolute minimum of parameters that need to be adjusted? Let's look at pedals. The most popular have 1 - 4 controls, the rest the unit does. Look at things like the Roland Dimension C, a huge unit, 4 buttons. But christ, what a sound! No bad choices, just perfection with different saturations.

This is all from a guitarist perspective, so you know, take it from that aspect, but who knows, maybe in the future Eventide will make a watered down version of the eclipse in a full rack that deals solely with just quick access to preprogrammed sounds with minimal adjustments as necessary, sorta like the diff between the G Force and the G Major.

The switching between present lag is the biggest issue for all guitarists, this usually is because when the unit has to make too drastic a change between paramenters, the processor is in overdrive to catch up, resulting in a minor lag. No big deal in the studio, a HUGE deal live. I recommend to users to keep your sounds close to each other programed-wise to counter this, and recommed to Eventide to maybe make some 'live' presets that help fight this. Unless they already have and I haven't found it.

Besides all of this, a top end product. If you are unafraid of long sitting sessions and like to blaze new sound trails, this is it.

Sound quality is perfect. You could almost say spiritual.

It sounds like the last reviewer wasn't patient enough or intelligent enough to figure out how to use this unit properly. Note his rating of 3 on sound quality: he didn't have one bad thing to say about any sound - his gripe is only with the difficulty of operation. How can i take a review seriously when a person is willing to let their frustration with one aspect of a product color their opinion regarding another? This person is obviously too bitter (about what i don't know since he got his money back) to admit that this unit sounds superior but is very complicated to operate - which is what most other users said about the unit. Can any person who has used this unit honestly say the sound quality is anything short of 9 at the least? I really don't appreciate people posting unintelligent opinions. The last reviewers philosophy is: "Its hard to use so it sucks and i don't like it!" - it sounds like the opinion of an impatient child. To me, it wouldn't make sense for the best sounding effects in the world to be easily achieved after five minutes of use. Anybody who would rate the sound of this unit at a 3 should not be listened to - he basically said his rocktron preamp sounded better - thats all i need to hear to know a person does not know what they are talking about. You don't have to be an engineer to operate this machine - its a computer program - you can get the basics at first and it will take a while to get the sophistication of it all after a while. This is not designed for on-the-fly changes in between songs on stage - this is so you can dial up every tone and effect you need, store it, and then recall it instantly when you need it. Sound quality is a perfect 10 all the way . . . does anyone disagree?

1. Getting good sound out of it depends on what you want and how much time you want to spend to get it set up. It will take a while. The factory presets are numerous, but in my opinion there aren't really that many that are truly useful. Some of them are downright annoying.

2. Sort of interesting to try and program it. While there are many things that can be changed, the layout is not terribly intuitive and that makes it difficult to get what you want out of it. There seems to be a plethora of settings that can be changed. That is why I got this unit in the first place. It will take time and effort to get this working correctly for sure. How much time and money do you want to spend? It will take a lot of both to get this unit to work correctly.

3. The manual is woefully inadequate. Mainly because it has so many errors. There are enough problems here alone to make you reconsider your purchase. I guess the positive side is that at least they sort of put something together. It is an encyclopedia, it is however, as noted, inadequate and incorrect. The online version is just as bad if not identical to the printed version. F- here.

4. Firmware is 3.1 and I have been looking at 3.5b also via the updates. 3.5b, as you can no doubt surmise, is a BETA release. It is a LOT faster than the 3.1 as far as switching the presets you are using. There is still silence when switching programs. Enough to make this unusable in a live setting.

5. There is no means of editing the setup directly via a computer. In other words, Eventide did not deem it prudent to create any sort of usable interface software that

The ONLY reason this gets a 2 as opposed to a 1 is that you don't have to code in binary. There are a lot better answers out there.

I'm going to see if I can send this back to the place of purchase or sell it. Not worth the time and effort or dealing with the rude people in New Jersey to get it right. There are other units out there that are much more intuitive and have enough power to do what pretty much everybody needs, and they are not nearly as expensive as this unit which is WAY overpricedther.

1. I guess you can get the sound of your favorite artist providing that you want to spend days figuring it out. The presets are essentially useless in this area. Go for your own sound. As I have noted above there is a substantial delay when switching effects that would render this unit completely useless for live performances.

2. The company and some of the reviews rave about the sound of this unit. The chorus sounds really good. Most of the sound programming sounds good. Just how usable it is would be for you to decide. Once again the very nasty delay problem comes up.

3. Equipment: Marshall JCM2000 100W and JCM800 100w heads with a Marshall JCM800 1960 4x12 angled top and a Marshall 1960 4x12 bottom.
Fender Strat Highway one, modified with some deluxe stuff. Gibson SG 3 pickup. Stock. Ernie Ball volume and pan pedal and a BudWah pedal.

4. Noise. Well. Yes. Without regard to use through the effects loop or plunging it straight in. Same thing. It's no horrible hiss but it is there. The Rocktron that a buddy of mine has is quieter.

5. The effects are what they are. They sound as you dial them in to sound. Prepare yourself to spend some time. One thing that is noticeable is the volume difference between bypass and effects. The bypass has noticeably more volume.

6. Other equipment described above.

I guess it's pretty hard to break. At least that's what the company tells me.

I have had it lock up several times. This was likely due to corrupt programs. However, a lock up requires a reboot. That means you shut it off. Not a good scenario in my most humble opinion.

I would not dream of taking this unit to a gig. In a studio it may be fine, but outside of that, forget it.

This is one of my pet peeves. If I spend a couple of grand on an effects unit that is supposed to be the best, then I damn well expect the company to respond politely and promptly when I have a problem. Particularly when the manual is incorrect in the first place.

The result to my query was that their response was very slow, they didn't have answers, they don't like it when you point out something that they tell you is incorrect, they are rude, it seems to be their goal to show you they know much more than you do (which would hopefully be the case relating to their unit) and did I mention that they were rude and incorrect in a substantial amount of their answers. The really did have a substantial number of incorrect answers, they don't even agree with their own manual. That's pretty bad, and they are rude and arrogant in case I didn't mention that.

Amazing is a good way to put it.

1. Music: Zappa, ZZTop, Dream Theater, Ten Years After, Robert Cray, BB King, AC/DC, Clapton, Cream, Pink Floyd, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, orignial stuff. That covers a pretty large area.

2. Been playing for at least 20 years as should be evident from the list above. Gear listed above. Some other stuff like Pignose and Fender amps and some various items that I really don't use anymore.

3. If it was stolen I would report it to the insurance company and get something else.

4. What do I love about it? Sending it back for a refund.
What do I hate? Nothing really, it's just not adequate for anything outside of a studio where you can edit over and over and over and over.
What is my favorite feature? The purchase recite that allow me to take it back.

5. Looked at several items, I was sucked in by the marketing and reviews that are pipe dreams in my opinion. It was chosen because of the perceived power and usability. Not a true evaluation by the reviewers in my opinion.
I wonder how much the magazines were paid to give good reviews. Maybe I should try to get that gig.

6. What do I wish it had?
a. A company that cared about its customers supporting it would be a good place to start.
b. A usable, correct, manual.
c. A web site that had real correct usable information.
d. A forum that would allow real information instead of some Hitler moderator squelching what he deems to be damaging to their products.
e. As it stands, they are either understaffed or really don't care once they get your dollars.

8. The way it stands it gets in the way. If you are in a studio I can see it being useful, past that forget it.

9. I would like to add that the current state of affairs with corporate America are why people like this get away with poor customer service, horrible tech support, and incredibly high prices for moderate quality equipment. We have shipped so many jobs and so much intelligence overseas at this point that it is difficult to find a corporate entity that is capable of doing anything themselves. Pretty sad state of affairs.

its easy to get a good tone out of but getting the levels set is not do-able ... it seems to me that the more you add effect the lees you have of the original signal such that the total output stays the same ... what I wanted was for my original signal to stay the same and for effected signal to be added in thus making more signal so that when I switch effect in the guitar doesnt get quieter ... Ive had this thing for a year and still cant build my own preset ... I have followed the instructions on how to steal an alogrithm from another preset and time and time again nothing happens ... I wanted to use this thing for delay and whammy and I love the backwards delay but cant figure out how to make a whammy where all of the sound gets pitch shifted ... now Ive noticed that the compressor in this thing is very nice, so much so that I dont want to use the other ones I had before, but the trouble is that I want the compressor and the harmonizer in front of my amp and the delay thru the effects loop, so that makes 3 things but you can only have 2 alogrithms per channel ... I might just get a tc 2290 for in the loop and just use this thing in front of the amp ... but I still cant figure how to get the compressor and the harmonizer to be on the same preset with each other and the delay ... Ive never had trouble programming my toys before until this thing ! cant get the levels right and it sucks about that !

sound quality is what i got it for I was using a maestro echoplex and then to a lexicon mpx1 an art compressor and an RNC compressor all of which were nice but no longer needed once I got this thing Im a soloist and an audiophile I use I use an old boogie and old marshall and sometimes a soldano and a bogner I like the gold pin telefunken 803Sax7 and the geNOS ax7wa as well as the RCA7025 and KT66's and el34's and I like my tubes blue ... I can hear how many volts are in a battery and I can tell you this thing is quite nice although I havent compared it to the tc2290

no trouble yet

they told me to quit calling and emailing them and said to go read the manual ... I have emailed them asking if there is anyone in the houston area who could help me program this thing but they have not returned my emails ... I bought this thing on ebay and a month later I notice that it has no serial number plate on it and so now I cant register it and am not eligible for customer support even though I bought it fair and square and have a reciept

I am 39 and have played guitar since age 4 ... I use a boogie .50 cal and a marshall 2210 with axiom transformers all rebuilt and or modded by the guys at Allens in houston as well as and a soldano slo100 for rythm ... vintage 30's ... 80 watt rola celestions ... drawmer gate ... bradshaw loop switcher and I build my own sustain ... DONT EVER send your amp to mesa boogie for any reason they screwed my amp up made it sound like half the knobe were at 25 and half wouldnt go past 3 stole my brand new american made tubes and then denied that they ever did any buisness with me even though I had all my transaction numbers and told me to screw off and go away

After reading a lot of reviews before buying this machine, I expected the worst, but I was positively surprised. You do need to read the manual to get started but the feel how this thing works came quickly to me. If you know a bit about effects parameters, it is not difficult to operate the Eclipse; I'd even call it intuitive and flexible because it collaborates with you and always allows you to do things in different ways. It's a complex machine though, but the time I spend with it is always enjoyable and efficient.

I use it in a guitar rig and for studio jobs. I work as a composer and guitarist, in different styles from classical music to film scores, electronic madness and death metal.

My rig is a Mesa Boogie triple rectifier with an Axess CFX-4 MIDI switcher, a Nord micro modular (which I abuse as an fx machine) and a Behringer V-amp (for emergencies). I control everything with a Sound Sculpture Switchblade 8B and a Rocktron All Access pedal with 2 expression pedals. Occasionally I connect everything to a ProTools system, too.
My main guitar is a BC Rich USA custom 7-string warlock with EMGs and a sustainiac pickup, but I also use the Eclipse on fretless and acoustic guitars, vocals and other instruments.

The sound quality is of course fantastic, be it for the famous Eventide delays, verbs and harmonizers or for EQs, wahs and noise gates. Gentle colouring / delays / chorus as well as outer space walls of sound and hugely complex live electronics for several instruments simultaneously all work beyond criticism. You can get quite far in copying sounds you like, but it's when you get creative yourself that the Eclipse unfolds its true power. Yes, you can only load two algorithms at a time, but most of them include several effects that can be controlled independently and tweaked out of this world.
What I find also hugely satisfying is the fact that, for the first time, I have an fx device that goes further than I need to, instead of my hitting the roof of its possibilities after five minutes and having to settle for the preset sound some distant engineer thought I would need.
The possibility to control any number of parameters with pedals, instrument dynamics and/or an internal oscillator greatly adds to the range of possibilties. Contrary to other guitar fx, this device actually allows me to create NEW sounds instead of giving me a pathetic choice between 5 sounds that have been around since I went to kindergarden.

(Note: You should always use the eclipse with balanced cables! The addition of the Switchblade to my rig made the Eclipse the only processor I really need, since it allows me to reconfigure my rack in realtime in spectacular ways (pre/ post/ channel separation / sweeping between settings / clean and distorted at the same time...) without losing the pure guitar, fx and amp tones.)

But even if you only want to work with the presets, you'd have a hard time NOT getting good sound out of this thing. The levels of some presets are kinda crazy though, so be careful with the volume when looking for algorithms.

Of course, even the best thing can always be improved - I miss for example an algo that combines parametric equalization and a noise gate - but for what this machine costs I am more than happy with what it does.

So far, so good.... I've had it for 6 months, no complaints, freeze-ups are infrequent and only during preset editing.
Rebooting usually solves the problem.
Yes, I use it without backup - if I could afford another one, I'd be using a bigger Eventide anyway. (Get real...)

Didn't have to contact the company so far. What I didn't find in the quite extensive manual, I found in the help group on yahoo. Italo de Angelis provides the best support I've ever seen, answering every question patiently and immediately, no matter if it's a genius or an idiot who asks it. Also other users of this community are helpful and approachable. A+++++

I'm a full-time professional, doing exclusively my own music. I've been playing for 20 years and learned a thing ot two about sound processing.

This is a piece of pro equipment which adapts to YOUR needs instead of vice versa. It gives me enough possibilities for all the different things I need from my equipment, and it helps me make better music in the sense that it allows me to make the music I want to make without compromise, and without annoying me with its own shortcomings and malfunctions all the time. Somebody used their brain making this thing, and they expect you to do the same.

I'd definitly get another one if it disappeared.

Once again: the Switchblade is a perfect complement for this machine, especially in a guitar rack.

This is my first, but certainly not my last Eventide.

Muy complicado todos los ajustes, los niveles entre preset y preset cambian drasticamente. No es la mejor opcion para directo. La actualizacion a la version 3.0 es muy compleja, con riesgo de perder la EPROM del equipo y tener que mandarlo a reprogramar. Las tarjetas Compact Flash que soporta estan obsoletas y ya no se encuentran. Antes de actualizarlo a la version 3.0 es necesario actualizar el sistema operativo y es necesaria una CompactFlash, este proceso es muy delicado y con riesgo de perdida de software y de quedar inutilizado el aparato.

Simplemente fantastico.
La unica pega es que no se pueden combinar muchos efectos a la vez (delay, chorus, distorsion, etc.)

Simplemente.... me decepciono, no el aparato en si, el soporte del distribuidor en Espa?a y desde luego la facilidad de uso, la cual brilla por su ausencia.

Malisimo.... En Espa?a su distribuidor no conoce en absoluto este producto, tuve que comprarlo sin poder probarlo, estube 10 dias intentando actualizarlo a la version 3.0 y Lexon, el distribuidor en Espa?a, no sabia como actualizarlo. A parte solo tenian dos unidades en toda Espa?a, la que tenian en Madrid fue la que me enviaron, estaba ara?ada por que la habian tenido en exposicion. Fue imposible actualizarlo y se lo devolvi a Lexon, para mas colmo Lexon no tenia ni idea de actualizarlo. Logicamente no me parecio correcto recibir este trato y este soporte tan malo por un aparato que cuesta 2450 euros por muy buena armonizacion y efectos reales que tenga.
He vuelto a los pedales analogicos y me he olvidado de efectos digitales gracias a Lexon.

Toco rock, heavy, etc.
Cuando compre el Eventide Eclipse me quede como unico guitarrista de mi grupo, buscaba algo para rellenar el sonido en los solos.
Pense en el Eclipse pero despues de esta desagradable experiencia se lo devolvi al distribuidor y no quiero saber nada mas de efectos digitales.
